Destination Path Too Long Fix

The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder.

Windows under the hood supports pathnames up to 32000 characters however due to some reasons - which I can only think are legacy support related - programs like 'Explorer' will choke on anything longer then about 260 characters during copy operations. This is very frustrating and can be major pain if you are re-installing your system and are keeping your program settings for example the Eclipse Workspace folder.

In my quest for a solution I have found Terra Nova copy but my experience found it buggy - eventually I have discovered FastCopy utility by a Japanese programmer - it has nice right click integration and works well with Windows 8.1 even though has not been updated in a while.

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: DUPLICATE_VALUE, duplicate value found: <unknown> duplicates value on record with id: <unknown>.The above error is triggered in the database layer and caused by a trigger or workflow outside of your main code of block that is bubbling this exception. This is rather difficult to track down especially if you are unfamiliar with the code, I am sharing my procedure in the hopes this saves you time - if you find this helpful drop me a line or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows. This error is caused by unique field constraint on the object, so the first step is to examine the object and locate the API names of all unique fieds. You can do this through SF direclty 'Setup < Customize &lt <object being inserted> &lt Fields' or by downloading the `src/objects` metadata information and searching for <unique>; I preffer the latter and actually download ALL matadata information f…
